The Fishing- and seal catching Museum is housed inside a boathouse at Borka Brygga. Visit Sweden describes a boathouse environment with tools dating from the late 1800s, a collection of photographs and documented fishing methods. Visitors can look at these objects and records; the material does not describe a guided tour or a particular exhibition route. It also does not say whether the documented methods include seal catching, despite the museum’s name.

Borka Brygga’s website lists a guest harbour, camping and motorhome pitches, a fuel station and a restaurant. The website currently says the restaurant is closed for the season. That notice does not establish whether the museum is open. The museum’s opening dates and hours are not given, and no admission price is listed. The website gives no recommended visit length, so plan according to your interest in the collection and any other facilities you intend to use at Borka Brygga. For information about camping or motorhome pitches, the website says to call +46 703 701 924; it does not specify that this number handles museum enquiries.
